Dear Fellow Fossil Collectors:

Thank you for your interest in our 2010 field season of Paleontological survey and excavation in South Dakota, North Dakota, and Wyoming. The 150,000 plus acres (11 ranches) that we will be collecting on have many excellent exposures that range in age from the Middle Cretaceous (c.90 million years ago) to the Late Cretaceous (c.65 million years ago). Themajority of our ranches are in the Hell Creek and Lance Creek Formations located in South Dakota, North Dakota, and Wyoming. A list of representative fossils recovered from the ranches include the following:

  • Triceratops
  • Several types of crocodile
  • Edmontosaurus
  • Numerous types of fresh water turtle
  • Torosaurus
  • Pachycephalosaur
  • Tyrannosaurus Rex
  • Dromaeosaurs (Raptor)
  • Struthiomimus
